B. WEBSITE USAGE & COOKIES

We may gather certain information about the User, such as Internet protocol (IP) addresses, domain name, browser type, operating system, the date and time of the visit and the pages visited. We make no attempt to link these addresses with the identity of individuals visiting our Website unless an attempt to damage the Website has been detected. We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, or to administer our web sites. We may conduct analyses of user traffic to measure the use of our sites and to improve the content of our web sites and our services.

We use data collection devices such as “cookies” on certain pages of the Website to help analyse our web page flow, measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. We use both “session ID cookies or session cookies” and “persistent cookies.” We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate the Website. A session cookie expires when you close your browser. If you check “remember me on this computer” when logging in to the Website, We also sets a persistent cookie to store you username passwords, so you do not have to enter it more than once. The persistent cookie also enables us to track and target the interests of users to enhance the experience on the Website. The persistent cookie is removed when you uncheck the “remember my email address” check box. For avoidance of doubt it is clarified that some of our business partners (such as advertisers) use cookies on the Website. We have no access to or control over these cookies. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by us only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

C. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We use appropriate administrative, technical, and physical measures to safeguard personal information against loss, theft and unauthorised uses, access or modifications. If you are a user of our websites and have a password, you should not share your password with anyone else.

Our Website has stringent security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. Whenever you change or access your account information, we offer the use of a secure server. Once your information is in our possession we adhere to strict security guidelines, protecting it against unauthorized access. For example, we use “_________” to ensure that all transfer of user data and transactions are encrypted and secured, as per SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) criteria etc.

However, it remains each user’s responsibility:

to protect against unauthorized access to your use of the Website;

to ensure no-one else uses the Website while the user’s machine is “logged on” to the Website service;

to log off or exit from Website when not using it; and

where relevant, to keep his/her password or other access information secret.

All Personal Information submitted to us is stored on a secure server. We do not store credit card numbers or related identifying information on any Website server. All such information is stored by our credit card processing partner(s), who are obligated to store such information using secure methods. We also use third parties to help us optimize our Website flow, content and advertising. All of our partners are under contract with us and they are obligated to keep your information confidential.

Protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of the Firm, our users or the public as required or permitted by law.

In the event we are merged with or acquired by such firm or business entity.

E. PROTECTION MEASURES

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to guard against unauthorized or unlawful processing of your Personal Information and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, your Personal Information.
